Did you know that multi-strand necklaces, where you can twist the individual strands together, are called torsades? This term is derived from the French "torsadée", which means "twisted". The beauty of such twisted torsades is that you can wear them with intertwined strands as well as untwisted and free. Thus, a new picture can and should always arise. The torsade here is made of genuine antique Mediterranean coral, which has been cut into countless small spheres and individual drums. This precious coral, called "Sardegna coral" after the place of its occurrence, inspires by its wonderfully rich colour. They are antique corals of the years around 1890, which convince by their intensive colourfulness and a deep red in numerous shades. The pearls match beautifully in size, shape and hue, so much so that our goldsmith has used them to recreate the present necklace with a modern clasp. The clasp made of yellow gold holds the ten newly strung strands of antique coral securely together. A wonderful piece of jewellery made from the most beautiful materials.

In his story "The Leviathan", Joseph Roth describes the use of corals as talismans with a special protective function. In previous centuries, Mediterranean corals were supposed to help their wearers achieve greater beauty and at the same time protect them from the "evil eye". They were therefore lucky charms and at the same time protectors from the deep sea, which we encounter from time to time today and whose charm we cannot escape.
